Design, Configuration, Testing, and Commissioning of Substation Automation Systems
Modern substations depend on SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems for real-time monitoring, control, and data acquisition. Whether you are building a new substation, upgrading an ageing SCADA system, or integrating a renewable energy project into the grid, Megavar provides end-to-end SCADA engineering from design through to commissioning and ongoing support, including SCADA point-to-point verification as part of substation commissioning.
Our SCADA engineers possess a rare combination of power systems engineering knowledge and IT/communications expertise, enabling us to bridge the gap between operational technology (OT) and the increasingly connected digital substation environment.
